Course summary

As a pillar of modern society, energy is often underestimated in its political, economic, and legal influence on our daily lives. Whether we like it or not, the supply, distribution, and consumption of energy has fundamentally moulded the world around us into the one we live in now.

MSc Energy Politics and Law provides you with the opportunity to study energy, as one of the most important yet under-analysed topics in international relations, from a multi-disciplinary perspective.

MSc Energy Politics & Law is a comprehensive programme that provides you with the building blocks of energy’s role within politics, economics, and law to equip you for careers in any organisation or sector engaging with energy as a topic of policy and praxis.

This programme provides the opportunity and ability to analyse energy as a political instrument, a modern commodity, and a social necessity. Over the course of the MSc, you will have the chance to examine energy within multiple disciplines, looking at issues such as:

The role of energy within climate and environmental politics and policy
The securitisation of energy and its role in conflict and violence
The political and social consequences of fossil fuel and green energy development
Energy regulations, and gaps in regulation, at the domestic and international levels
The economics of energy supply, distribution, and consumption
The legal, economic, and political opportunities and challenges facing our global transition to renewable energies
